REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL SITUATION AND RESULTS

1. Results of operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2026

Group revenue decreased by 21.7% to € 156.6 m compared to the same period of the previous year (3M 2025: € 200.0 m). The decrease was driven by 14.8% lower revenues in the Discovery & Preclinical Development (D&PD) segment, whereas Just – Evotec Biologics contributed € 36.8 m during the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus € 59.4 m in the comparable prior year period. Excluding negative fx-effects, Group revenue decreased by 16.5% to € 166.9 m. Excluding the license sale to Sandoz in Q1 2025, revenues decreased by 5.6% from € 176.9 m in 3M 2025 to € 166.9 m in the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven by the continued softer market for early stage discovery.

The Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to € 158.2 m (3M 2025: € 166.7 m) yielding a gross margin of (1.0)% (3M 2025: 16.6%). The decrease of Cost of revenues was driven by lower personnel costs and lower project and material costs in both segments. D&PD saw continued underutilization which is being addressed as part of Project Horizon.

R&D expenses amounted to € 10.1 m, compared to € 14.9 m in the three months ended March 31, 2025 (32.5% reduction), as investment continues to be tightly controlled on projects most relevant to our partners.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to € 43.8 m and were thus € 5.7 m or 11.6% lower compared to last year (3M 2025: € 49.5 m) mainly driven by the JUST EU exit, lower personnel expenses, and reduced IT business consultancy costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other operating income amounted to € 12.5 m, compared with € 13.0 m in the corresponding prior-year period. The year-on-year variance was predominantly driven by two offsetting effects. On the one hand, we recognized € 2.5 m one-off insurance income related to the 2023 cyber incident in the prior period, which did not recur in 2026. On the other hand, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, Evotec accounted for € 2.2 m of income related to transition services in connection with the sale of JUST EU (3M 2025: € 0.0 m).

Other operating expenses amounted to € 3.4 m for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of € 1.9 m compared with the prior-year period (3M 2025: € 1.6 m). The increase was primarily driven by € 1.4 m of expenses related to transition services in connection with the sale of JUST EU.

Reorganization costs amounted to € 75.0 m in the three months ended March 31, 2026 (3M 2025: € 0.2 m). These costs are driven exclusively by the initial provision for future expenditures and asset impairments related to the recently announced Project Horizon.

Adjusted Group EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to € (21.9) m (3M 2025: € 3.1 m) primarily driven by the Sandoz License sale in Q1 2025, as well as negative FX-impact of € 3 m.

The net income (loss) as of March 31, 2026 amounted to € (121.9) m (3M 2025: € (31.6) m), driven largely by the operating loss, which increased due to the reorganization provision and lower revenues, and only slightly offset by an increased deferred tax income.

INTERIM STATEMENT 3M 2026

2. Results of operations in Discovery & Preclinical Development and Just – Evotec Biologics

In the D&PD segment revenue (incl. intersegment revenues), decreased by (14.7)% to € 119.9 m (3M 2025: € 140.6 m) due to a still challenging market environment, and negative FX-impacts. In constant currency, revenues decreased by (10.0)%.

Cost of revenue within D&PD amounted to € 112.7 m in the three months ended March 31, 2026 (3M 2025: € 119.4 m) driven by lower personnel expense and lower project and material costs. This corresponds to a gross margin of 6.0% (3M 2025: 10.8%). R&D expenses came in at € 10.1 m (3M 2025: € 14.9 m). SG&A expenses decreased by (15.4)% to € 34.8 m (3M 2025: € 41.2 m), mainly caused by reduced IT consultancy expense and lower personnel expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other operating income amounted to € 11.9 m, compared to € 12.3 m for the comparable prior year period. Other operating expenses were € 2.8 m (3M 2025: € 0.9 m) driven by expenses related to transition services in connection with the sale of JUST EU. In the first three months of 2026, Reorganization expenses totalling € 75.0 m related to the Horizon program were incurred (3M 2025: € 0.2 m).

The adjusted EBITDA of the Discovery & Preclinical Development (D&PD) segment was € (9.8) m (3M 2025: € (6.9) m), due to lower revenues which were mostly offset by reduced Costs of revenues, R&D, and SG&A expenses.

Revenue (incl. intersegment revenue) within Just – Evotec Biologics decreased to € 36.8 m (3M 2025: € 59.4 m). This decline of (38.0)% was driven by the USD 25 m Sandoz License sale from Q1 2025. Excluding this effect and negative FX-impact, revenues increased by 11.3%. Cost of revenue was € 45.6 m in the first three months of 2026, compared to € 47.4 m within the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by the sale of the Toulouse site in Q4 2025, offset partially by temporarily higher material and project costs due to production phasing. Due to the above effects, gross margin decreased to (23.7)% in the first quarter 2026 from 20.2% in the first three months of 2025. SG&A expenses (3M 2026: € 9.0 m vs. 3M 2025: € 8.4 m) were broadly in line with prior year.

The adjusted EBITDA within Just – Evotec Biologics has decreased to € (12.1) m (3M 2025: € 10.0 m) mainly driven by 2025 Sandoz License sale.

3. Financing and financial position

Cash flow used in operating activities in the first three months of 2026 was € (3.9) m (3M 2025: € (31.8) m). The decrease in cash outflow is related to favorable changes in working capital compared to the first three months of 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to € (12.4) m (3M 2025: € (21.6) m). Capital expenditure decreased to € (4.2) m (3M 2025: € (18.2) m), primarily reflecting reduced investments after the sale of JUST EU at the end of 2025. The decrease in capital expenditure was partially offset by an increase in purchase of intangible assets and additions to capitalized development expenditures by € (3.0) m to € (6.6) m (3M 2025: € (3.6) m), transaction costs related to the disposal of affiliate companies amounting to € (3.9) m (3M 2025: € – m) and lower net proceeds from current investments that decreased by € 3.2 m to € 0.9 m (3M 2025: € 4.1 m).

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities amounted to € (19.1) m in the three months ended March 31, 2026 (3M 2025: € 35.4 m).


evotec

INTERIM STATEMENT 3M 2026

The decrease is primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of proceeds from loans (3M 2025: € 44.0 m) and increased loan repayments (3M 2026: € (12.2) m; 3M 2025: € (1.1) m).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 387.9 m as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: € 418.5 m). Total Liquidity in the first three months of 2026 decreased by € (31.6) m to € 444.8 m (December 31, 2025: € 476.4 m).

4. Assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity

Assets

Between December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, total assets decreased by € 74.1 m to € 1,639.8 m (December 31, 2025: € 1,713.9 m).

Trade and other receivables decreased by € 37.7 m to € 98.3 m (December 31, 2025: € 136.0 m). The decrease is mainly due to cash receipts related to the License Agreement signed in December 2025 as part of the Sandoz transaction.

Property, plant and equipment decreased by € 23.8 m to € 530.8 m (December 31, 2025: € 554.6 m). The decrease is mainly due to planned footprint reductions affecting lease terms considered for Right-of-Use assets and impairments related to Project Horizon (see Note 5. Project Horizon for additional information).

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by € 13.1 m to € 43.5 m (December 31, 2025: € 30.5 m) primarily due to an increase in prepayments for insurances, IT and software licenses as well as subscription fees.

Liabilities

Between December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, total liabilities increased by € 40.0 m to € 940.2 m (December 31, 2025: € 900.2 m).

Current and Non-Current provisions

increased by € 118.4 m to € 195.0 m (December 31, 2025: € 76.6 m) mainly due to Horizon, including headcount and footprint related provisions, along with reclassifications in the amount of € 43.0 m comprised of certain lease liabilities related to impacted leases.

Current and Non-current financial liabilities decreased by € 61.3 m to € 387.5 m (December 31, 2025: € 448.7 m) mainly due to the repayment of loans and the revaluation and reclassification of certain lease liabilities in the amount of € 43.0 m to the restructuring provision related to Project Horizon.

Trade and other payables decreased by € 9.9 m to € 54.9 m (December 31, 2025: € 64.8 m). The decrease occurred in the normal course of the business.

Stockholders' equity

Total stockholders' equity decreased by € 114.1 m to € 699.6 m (December 31, 2025: € 813.7 m) predominantly as a result of the net loss of the three months ended March 31, 2026 of € (121.9) m and a change in other comprehensive income of € 6.8 m, driven by foreign currency translation adjustments.

Evotec's equity ratio as of March 31, 2026 decreased to 42.7% (December 31, 2025: 47.5%).

INTERIM STATEMENT 3M 2026

5. Project Horizon

On March 10, 2026, Evotec announced ‘Horizon’, the next phase in its multi-stage transformation initiative. Horizon advances the company’s evolution by implementing a new and focused operating model built across the three pillars of operations, science, and commercial execution.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Evotec recorded reorganization costs totaling € 75.0 m. These costs are directly attributable to the restructuring measures that are necessary for the restructuring and are not related to operating activities. Of the reorganization costs, significant portions include € 56.4 m attributable to personnel measures (including severance payments) and € 14.9 m attributable to impairment losses on property, plant, and equipment. The measurement of restructuring provisions is based on estimates and assumptions regarding the amount of severance payments, the timeline for the implementation of the measures and the progress in discussions in accordance with local laws and regulations. The measurement assumptions are regularly reviewed as the restructuring program progresses.

6. Human Resources

Employees

Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, the Evotec Group employed an average of 4,526 people globally for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (average for the year ended December 31, 2025: 4,757 employees). In addition, the divestiture of Just-Evotec Biologics EU completed in December 2025 resulted in an overall reduction of employee headcount.
